that whole argument only works as a criticism of Catholicism

I mean it was mainly a joke

But the fact that you can buy your way into “heaven”

fucking retarded

Well it is a bit more complicated than that

God has many forms, for many people, not all of them believe in heaven.

The Catholic church never believed you could pay your way into heaven

Indulgences

pay away your sins

Those were not a ticket to heaven

no it reduced your time in purgatory

supposedly

xd

They believe that you will spend a time in fire before you enter heaven as payment for your sins

this of course implies that Christ's sacrifice is not sufficient and is heresy

so basically pay your way OUT of hell

no

You go to hell

or purgatory and then heaven

yes but you spend less time there

it doesn;t change your destination

hell =/= purgatory

I don’t know jack shit about religion

All I know is it’s a crock of shit

lol

"i don't know anything about religion but I know it's bad"

yes

I don't know anything about guns but they're bad!1!11

OK libtard

that’s not the same lmao

I'd be happy to help you understand

My problem with religion

Is giving people a false sense of belief

And hope

That when you die you will go somewhere elsea

hope of what?

Instead of decomposing in a grave

That's a pretty common issue people have

That is indeed addressed in the Bible

I get that it’s supposed to entice people to follow the commandments

That's not true at all though
